Flag Identification Using Color Feature Technique of Image Retrieval System

Abstract

The growth of digital image and video archives is increasing the need for tools that effectively filter and efficiently search through large amounts of visual data. In content-based image retrieval systems(CBIR) the most efficient and simple searches are the color-based searches, which can be realized in several color spaces and by several color descriptors. This paper present an image classification system which is based on Dominant Color Descriptor (DCD) used in image retrieval system. First step is to calculate the DCD value of the input image. Second step performs the comparing process between the DCD value of input image and DCD values of the images of the system. This system uses flag images of the ASIA region. When a user input a flag image file and the system will classify the image is one of the flags of the ASIA region.
